you're going to have to part it out, scion owners are cheap. PM me about the built motor and the ems when you decide to part em. Not trying to sound like a douche, just saying it's probably going to happen that way.

lotus elise would be nice, even better with a boosted 2.4......

yea there are few people who would truly pay you what its worth and those few would more than likely want to start from scratch. Best bet is to return to stock part out and trade in for you new whip.

You can make more money parting it out than selling it with the whole package just an fyi. but again your car your decision.

i don't get why people put so much time and money into their car only to part them out and start all over again. the only thing i can think of is that the car starts running like crap over botched installations and such...

if you have the money to afford a new car, and want to start digging a new money pit, go for it.

i'm actually kinda happy that my money pit is almost full and i can just sit back and enjoy it for years to come.

you might be able to sell it for 12k with everything. part it out because you will never find someone that wants an extra engine and all those mods.

-probably cuz we realize the car is slow, and go out there to pick up something faster and push it to the limits and realize thats slow too, until we keep going and like the only thing to mod are like space ships and stuff!

^ not really seeing where your going with the spaceship comment

but

in response to drax, according to my grandpaw who was/is a huge car guy and cant even count how many cars he has modded and sold, "the fun is in the journey"
so it isnt really boredom, its the exploration a something new, a new beginning, a new journey

Its because once uve pushed your car to its max or have been totally satisfied with it, you move on and want to experience another car and its limits..

its all about the experience !

id guess the price would be 14000-15000 if you could find someone willing. i think most are going to offer more like 10000-12000 or less. i think 07 resale for about 13

Car runs amazing! perfect. I have to replace a fuel pump. but that has nothing to do with this..

Everyone hit the nail on the head.. its about the journey!

i have almost a 400whp stock motor tc.. How much more can i get out of it!

The cars in perfect shape! If i was gonna get rid of it now would be the time!


but i wouldint sell for 12k LMAO Ive already received offers at my store for 18-20k

And one is from a guy who is very very wealthy!

I guess i should look into the offers i was already given!

And i still may keep the car..

it just sucks when you wake up and relize. no matter what its stilll a scion! and when i go out and see others with there scions most people make such a bad name for us! its almost embrasising!
